Definitions

  • This invention relates to an electrical distribution track in which electrical conductors are enclosed in a duct having an aperture allowing access to the conductors for electrical connection to a switch or the like mounted on the track. It is especially but not exclusively applicable to domestic mains distribution systems in which a plurality of switches or other accessories are to be connected to the conductors at different locations.
  • the track shall be able to receive accessories which are of a design compatible with electrical equipment which is already in use, such as the British Standard 13-amp distribution system.
  • the side walls 6 of duct 1 are provided at their edges with continuous longitudinal grooves 7 to receive thread-forming screws 8 for clamping switch 9 to the duct.
  • the main body of the switch is positioned inside the duct and the upper and lower sides of the switch have flanges 9a which abut the edges of wall 6 and are clamped thereto by screws 8.
  • Screws. 8 are of a size such that their threads bite the interior surfaces of grooves 7.
  • Switch socket 9 may thus be mounted in the duct 1 at any arbitrary position along the length of the duct, no holes being needed to receive the screws 8.
  • the duct 1 is contained in a longitudinal channel member 11 which is embedded in a wall 12 which provides a support surface for the track.
  • Channel member 11 may be formed by extrusion and composed of plastics material or of a metal such as aluminium; it need not be electrically insulating.
  • Duct 1 is provided with cover securing brackets 13 which are positioned on each side of the switch and at intervals along the track.
  • the securing brackets are provided with holes through which thread-forming screws 14 pass, the screw heads abutting the brackets around the holes.
  • the edges of the walls of channel member 11 are provided with longitudinal grooves 15 opposite screws 14 so that when brackets 13 are mounted in place the threads of screws 14 bite the internal walls of grooves 15 to hold the bracket in place.
  • the brackets are also provided with holes through which screws 18 may pass to clamp the bracket to the duct 1.
  • brackets 13 are placed at positions spaced along the duct and screws 14 and 18 are passed through their respective holes and tightened to clamp the duct and channel member to the brackets, thus holding these members in place.
  • the accessory is inserted in duct 1 as shown in Figures 1 and 2 so that its terminals engage the bus-bars and is secured to the duct 1 by screws 8.
  • Brackets 13, which are shaped so that their sides overlay the side edges of the accessory, are then mounted as described above in the positions shown in Figure 1 to help secure the switch in place.
  • This type of channel member may be used in the manner shown in Figure 1, in which a relatively short screw engages the groove 15 to secure the support bracket to the channel member.
  • a longer screw which has a cutting point capable of penetrating the channel member material at the bottom of groove 15 so that the screw may pass through this material and extend into the groove 31.
  • a suitable screw for this purpose has a pyramid point of about 30° included angle. The use of a longer screw in this way allows the channel member to be embedded in a wall to a variable depth.
  • Figure 8 shows another type of duct for the bus-bars which is suitable for mounting on the surface of a wall, as shown in Figure 4.
  • the duct 1 has side walls 6 and grooves 7 for receiving screws as in the embodiment of Figure 1 but the base 2 of the duct extends outwardly beyond the walls 6 and is provided with upstanding outer walls 32 of which the inturned ends 33 carry outwardly extending flanges 34.
  • Brackets for supporting the cover may be mounted on this duct by screws entering grooves 7, as in the arrangement of Figure 4.
  • the cover itself is dimensioned as shown in Figure 9 with side walls 35 of lesser depth having interior shoulders 36 to accommodate flanges 34 when the cover is mounted on the brackets.
  • the walls 32 and 35 together form an outer wall for the track.
  • FIG 14 shows a 13-amp plug socket 151 mounted in the track.
  • This socket is of standard internal construction but is connected to the bus-bars 4 by forked connectors, extending behind the socket to engage a respective bus-bar in the same manner as indicated in Figures 2 and 4.
  • the socket itself has a front surface 152 which, when mounted on the track, projects slightly above the surface of cover 111.
  • the socket may be mounted between two lengths of cover 111 in the longitudinal direction, as shown in Figure 14. Its longitudinal side surfaces 153 are aligned with corresponding side surfaces of cover 111 and engage side covers 125 when the track is assembled, the side covers extending beside both the cover 111 and the socket. Side surfaces 153 have flanges 154 which abut the edges of walls 6.
  • the duct and covers When the track is installed the duct and covers may be supplied in standard lengths and it may be necessary to join adjacent pieces of duct and cover end-to-end, in which case the joint should be protected especially to prevent entry of water or other unwanted matter from the outside. Such protection may be provided by a joint cover 171 shown in Figure 14 and in Figures 20-22.
  • the duct, bus-bars, track cover and channel may all be supplied in a variety of standard lengths or may be cut to any required length on site so that the length of the track is easily adapted to any given requirement, for example installation in a room of a house where the length of a wall is non-standard.
  • any number of accessories may be mounted on the same track, either side-by-side or spaced along the track, and spaces between the accessories are occupied by the track cover so that the track is completely enclosed.
  • the snap-on track cover is held firmly by beads in grooves so that it will not be removed accidentally and there is little risk of unauthorized removal, for example by a child.
